1 / 2Escape Dunedin at Dunedin Prison
📍 Dunedin, Otago South
Escape Dunedin is housed inside the Old Dunedin Prison at 2 Castle Street, central Dunedin — escape rooms in genuine cell blocks with the prison setting as part of the experience. Four themed games for teams of 2–6, 60 minutes each. Multi-team bookings welcomed.
Always such a great time doing escape rooms. Very well thought out and planned well! Any clues needed were on a screen and any further help needed all we needed to do was wave. No rushing needed, staff were really helpful and didn't judge us for our colourful language 😂 3rd room here we've done
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for older kids 11+, teens, and adults. Reviewers consistently call out the heritage prison setting as a standout above other escape rooms — the experience starts before the puzzles do. Suits team-building, family groups, and friends.

“Customer service was top notch! The manger was warm and welcoming, guiding us through everything we needed to know. They had many rooms filled with puzzles that were exceptionally well made. This is one of the best escape rooms I’ve done and would highly recommend.”

“We took on Espionage experience. Whoever designed and set it up is brilliant. Perhaps 25 to 35 problems to solve and nothing is as it seems. Extremely high recommendation. Davo, Auckland”
